Seat Question
 

I was looking in the LMC book andi noticed that they do not offer seat covers with arm rests...Im sure that ive seen trucks with fold down arm rests and the full bench seats so the question that begs to be asked is did GM offer ( especially in the higher end models ) an armrest or a split bench seat as a factory option?

Re: Seat Question
 

Not on 73-87(91) trucks.
BTW, we have upholstery kits availible for these trucks also at a comparable price to LMC.

Re: Seat Question
 

what im going to do is see if i can find a seat with an armrest.. thats what i really like and need to be comfortable in the truck

ORC10 -

I've been seriously lookin at mid to late 90's Grand Marquis seats. I know they're from that F company. But, Low-Backed with low, adjustable headrest, Electric, overstuffed Leather, and look to be a near perfect width. And has 2 fold down armrests - allowing for 3 across seating. AND, PnP has them for less than $50 bucks!!

(I think I just talked myself into it...)

Kinda like these. But with lower head rests.

those are real nice im more of a cloth guy but ill tell ya what i saw a set on here from anew F150 someone installed and then my buddy bought a F150 which i sat in and those are great seats although they would cost a decent amount

Re: Seat Question
 

Are you looking for inexpensive (donor) or a new seat?

I have see a 73-87 with a 88-90 bench with the small armrest in it. Didn't look too bad either. This is the best pic I have of it. I was looking at it for purchase but it was too damaged

Re: Seat Question
 

that would work too and the upholstery from that wouldnt look bad if you put the silverado door panels with it thanks Capt youve made my mind up for me!

Re: Seat Question
 

FWIW that's a 91+ seat, it has headrests.

Re: Seat Question
 

Anbody know how much of a pain these would be to install? A cousin gave me a seat exactly like this yesterday.

Also, do you guys know where I can get a new cover for this kind of seat? The one I was given is blue, and the rest of my interior is red.

Re: Seat Question
 

too bad you werent closer, i'd make ya a deal on a red one. i've got 3 of them. :D

Re: Seat Question
 

I sell seat covers for those seats. For the 88-95 version it is $229.95 for cloth and $199.99 for vinyl. Shipping cost not included and I will have to check on the headrests also.

Re: Seat Question
 

I just started the search for seats checking my local boneyards so ill definately keep that in mind ..

Re: Seat Question
 

Bummer! Ever tried mounting them?

Re: Seat Question
 

Chris, I'll give you a yell if I get this one mounted up successfully. I don't remember if it has headrests or not.

Re: Seat Question
 

nope, i've got 3 88-98 trucks, and my 77, which has an 86 seat in it. they're mostly a direct bolt in for me.:hm:

Re: Seat Question
 

i wish you were closer id take a red one
